Grilled Dry Rubbed Pork Recipes

SUPER JUICY GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Pat pork tenderloin dry with a paper towel.
• Mix dry rub ingredients together in a small bowl and then season both pork tenderloins on all sides. Use your hands to rub it in.
• Whisk together the marinade ingredients in a separate bowl. Then, pour the marinade into a large Stasher bag or Ziploc. Add dry-rubbed pork tenderloins to the bag and make sure they are completely submerged. Seal the bag and let the pork marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• When ready to cook, heat grill to 450°F - 500°F.
• When the grill is preheated, carefully spray grill grates with a little cooking spray (be careful this will ignite the flames) and sear pork tenderloins over direct heat for 2 minutes per side.
• Then, turn ½ the burners to low and move pork tenderloin to the low heat side, leaving the other side burners on high. Your grill should drop down to around 400ºF.
• Grill pork tenderloin for around 12 minutes*, flipping halfway through. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork. It should reach an internal temperature of at least 145ºF.
• Remove from the grill and let rest for at least 5 minutes.
• Use a sharp knife to slice pork tenderloin and serve it with the grilled carrots.

GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SPICE RUB

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, smoked paprika, kosher salt, chili powder, onion powder and garlic powder.
• Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and silverskin. Pat the pork dry, and then rub the spice mixture all over the meat.
• Allow pork to sit at room temperature while preparing the grill.
• Preheat grill to medium heat and brush the grates with vegetable oil (to prevent sticking).
• Place pork on the grill. Close the grill and cook 15-18 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking. The meat is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 140-145 degrees F. You can baste with the barbecue sauce during the final 1-2 minutes, or just serve warm barbecue sauce alongside the pork for dipping.
• Remove the tenderloin to a cutting board and allow the meat to rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
